Practice Capabilities

Loeb & Loeb counsels U.S., Asian and other foreign and multinational companies, financial institutions and individuals in their local and cross-border business matters throughout Asia. Our Asia Practice combines the resources of nearly 40 attorneys and professionals in the firm’s U.S., Beijing and Hong Kong offices to deliver sophisticated transactional advice, regulatory counseling and litigation services, primarily in the areas of capital markets, corporate finance and entertainment law.

We represent both Asia-based companies doing business or seeking to expand or raise debt or equity capital in the United States, Hong Kong and mainland China, as well as U.S. and multinational companies seeking to invest in or expand their businesses in Asia. Whether the work is in-bound or out-bound, our clients turn to Loeb & Loeb for critical business transactions that will extend their global reach.

More than 75 Chinese companies have relied on us to help them go public in the United States. We also have substantial experience representing Chinese issuers, buyers and special counsel in going-private transactions. In Hong Kong, our attorneys have advised clients in numerous initial public offerings and secondary fundraising transactions. Our core strengths also include private equity, mergers and acquisitions, and securities compliance, investigative and litigation matters.

In the entertainment and media space, we represent a number of Chinese enterprises, creative artists and entrepreneurs seeking to expand into the U.S. entertainment industry, and U.S. media and entertainment clients seeking to grow and secure their interests throughout Asia.

We offer our clients a broad range of legal services to meet their domestic and international business and fund-raising needs. These capabilities include:

  • Mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures
  • Corporate governance, due diligence and investigative services
  • Going-private transactions
  • Securities litigation
  • Initial, secondary and alternative public offerings
  • Entertainment financing, production, distribution and development transactions

Service Approach

Loeb & Loeb’s offices in Beijing and Hong Kong, in conjunction with our coast-to-coast practice in the United States, allow us to bridge cultural, time zone and language barriers to offer seamless access and service to our foreign and domestic clients.

Cross-practice strengths that add value are especially critical for clients as they pursue business interests in China and throughout Asia. To harness our full service capabilities, we position counsel from our Advanced Media and Technology, Intellectual Property, Entertainment, Tax, Litigation, Patent and other practice specialty areas alongside our lead legal teams. Through this collaboration, we strive to deliver the most effective and efficient legal services possible.

Leadership in Law

Loeb & Loeb attorneys have represented some of the first Chinese Companies to list in the U.S. capital markets. For example, we helped American Oriental Bioengineering, Inc. (AOBO) become the first Chinese-based issuer to list on the New York Stock Exchange, where it made its debut in December 2006.

Our attorneys are pioneers of securities transactions for Chinese clients, and our achievements and rankings attest to our leadership role. Thomson Reuters ranks Loeb & Loeb #1 among law firms in underwritten public offerings by companies headquartered in China, as measured by the total number of deals closed over the three-year period from 2009 through 2011. Loeb & Loeb ranks #2 as measured by total deal value during this period.
